lic stock as aforesaid, (in case the administrator shall be obliged
to pay any further debts or duties that were due from the
deceased,) shall likewise refund to such administrator the value
of what such administrator shall be so obliged to pay.
By 1729, ch. 24, sec. 20, in case such residue should be paid to the visi-
tors, and legal representatives of no remoter degrees, &c., should afterwards
appear, &c., then the visitors were to restore the same to such legal repre-
sentatives, if in their hands; but, if actually applied to the use of the school,
then the public stock of such school should be liable to make satisfaction,
and the visitors lo give an order for the same on the public treasurers, who
were to pay the same out of the public stock of such school, if so much in
their hands; if not, then so much as shall be in their hands, and the residue
•when they should receive so much for the use of such school. |

CHAPTER 15.
AN ACT for the encouragement of an Iron Manufacture within this
province. |
|
Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this present general assembly,
that there are very great conveniencies of carrying on iron-
works within this province, which have not hitherto been em-
braced for want of proper encouragements to some first under-
takers, although the consequences thereof might not only be
considerably advantageous to the persons immediately con-
cerned therewith, but also to the public trade of Great Britain,
and this province; and for that it may so happen that the lands
or places most proper for the fixing forge-mills, and other con-
veniencies for the carrying on such considerable works, may
happen to be within the bounds of any lands already reserved
to his lordship's use, or such lands as are in the hands or pos-
session of persons under age, or unable to be at the charge of
carrying on such considerable works, or else such as are wil-
fully obstinate, to the hindrance of such persons as would pur-
chase such lands or places as should be fit for the carrying on
so great works, and setting them up, to the increase of our
trade and navigation, the peopling of this province, and to the
advantage of his lordship, by the encouraging the taking up
such remote and barren lands as are now entirety useless and
uncultivated, |
